is this a relative Sao?


that part of East TX is so easy to get turned around in. the whole Longview/Gladewater area has highways that don’t follow any real directional pattern. my ex girlfriends family lives in Gilmer and without some GPS help I would easily get lost at night

Thank you all. Yeah, when he was found the ladies could tell he needed help and he only asked for water. Couldn't tell them his name. It's incredble in a way. To start out on a 10 mile drive and end up traveling probably 180.

Also amazing with a lot of people driving here and there we couldn't pick the right place. It's kind of scary trying to cover an area that seems small but ends up being huge when you're doing it. Being 91 and lost had to have been terrible.

My grandfather just turned 90 and still drives. Mostly just in town to Big Sandy and Glimer and Gladewater. But occasionally Longview and Tyler though I don't think he's done that for a while. He's very stubborn and everyone else on the road is a "dickhead".

Last time I visited I managed to convince him to let me drive to a doc appointment in Longview. The first time in my driving career I got pulled over for speeding by Gladewater pd. Got off with a warning but I doubt my grandfather will be giving me the keys again anytime soon.


Glad your relative was found and safe.
